Steven Seagal Sexual Harassment Case Dismissed

Steven Seagal Sexual Harassment Case Dismissed LOS ANGELES - Court records show a $1 million sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former assistant against Steven Seagal has been dismissed in Los Angeles.

Kayden Nguyen had claimed Seagal forced her to stay in a Louisiana home and that the action star repeatedly fondled her. The allegations led to the suspension of filming on the reality series 'Steven Seagal Lawman.'

No reason was given for the dismissal granted Tuesday. Seagal's attorneys had been trying to resolve the case through private arbitration.

Attorneys for Seagal and Nguyen did not immediately return phone messages Wednesday. Seagal had denied the allegations through his attorney -- "The lawsuit filed by Kayden Nguyen against Steven Seagal is a ridiculous and absurd claim by a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired for using illegal narcotics," Seagal's lawyer, Marty Singer, told CBS' Crimesider.

CBS also highlighted a video of Nguyen saying, "I can use my sex appeal to get any girl that I want and to trick any guy into getting what I want" on 'The Tyra Banks Show' in January 2009.

The lawsuit TMZ obtained alleged Nguyen interviewed with Seagal to become his executive assistant. Nguyen claimed she landed the job, but when she showed up for work, "Mr. Seagal had been keeping two young female Russian 'attendants' on staff who were available for his sexual needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." Nguyen also claimed Seagal treated her "as his sex toy."

I'm not sure I ever believed her. This guy can probably get women if he really wants them. He doesn't need to force himself on anyone. I always thought he was targeted by an opportunist.

I agree 110%!!!! I believe a large portion of celebrities are targeted by people who try to extort them out of their money. New case Mel Gibson vs. Oksana (whatever her last name is). I thought from the start she looked like a leech i feel he was driven to go off the deep end by her. I'm not fond of his language and racial slurs but my gut tells me Mel is the Real victim here. His biggest mistake was getting involved with her in the first place. Unfortunately celeb's should do background check's on All of their friends and accqaintances before gettting involved.

No Jackie, I think Mel dug his own grave. He's got the propensity to be a raging bigot and woman hater and he's simply showing his true colors.

I think it's true: hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Oksana is scorned. What could she possibly have done to bring about such a filthy string of abuse like she recorded?

I think in his prime he could have had any woman he wanted. But now, he is a fat, old man.... so who knows if he didnt do what was stated. Obviously he is either desperate or she is a bold face liar. Who knows if we will ever know the truth.

Remember the days when women cared about their behavior and name to get married and have a good life? Nowadays, women put themselves out there in sexual scandals to get famous, score cash, and have a (low)life. We need to clean up our country.
